A few pics shot in the mall parking garage. I have been getting alot of compliment on the front blackouts.. I dont know, tell me whatcha ya think!. All tint was done with vinyl film and completly visible at night. When the HID's come on, you cant even tell that the tints are on the car.Front...settled vey wellRear

I'm not sure of the all black front.....the car loses it's identity.

Nice drop though....

Under the radar! Very stealth The drop looks fresh. It helps alot with the lower trim being black, especially on the black M

I want to do my orange and red side markers like that. source please!

Did you have any problems applying vinyl tint over the raised letters on side markers? Did you happen to try to put on your side view mirrors. I'm planning on doing the same on side mirror blinkers and side markers. Do you have any pointers or suggestions? Thanks.

Looks good. I would do the blinkers on the mirrors as well. Window tint would complete the look.

There was no problem installing over the raised letters. You can tell it there but only if your close enough to steal the car. A suggestion you could do is sand down the raised letters, i though about it after i was done. Also when tinting the sidemarkers make sure you dont use to much or to little tint to cover the lens. To little will show the orignal color of the lens around the edge and too much will be a problem to trim. On my second lens i finally got it right....Good Luck.

The ride with the srpings is awesome . Cant ask for much more, when first installed it sat so high. In about 30 minutes I couldnt eve stick my fingers into the wheel gaps settled real fast...almost scary

i would not have blacked out the grill.

But if you have i think you tint the windows darker and get some black and chrome lipped rims.

I agree - with a black car with that much blacked-out, you really need the "fish-bowl" look to go away. Tint at least 20% if not lower. If you get your car tinted all the way around, I can see that car pulling up and taking whatever parking spot it danmwellpleases. People sipping their double expresso mocha latta cappichinos at Starbucks will dive under their tables if they see that car pull up!!!

HAve to see it NOW!!!! !

Looks awesome! I am torn about doing the same with my ride....I am pretty stock, but you are changing my mind. Where did you get the springs? Clutchkid? How much did they set u back? I am looking at powdercoating the stock wheels or doing the black middle and chrome lip wheels....mabe the torque thrust with the spokes blacked out and staggered. 18/20in

Post some pics! Peace, KTW

you just degraded the car by blacking out your lights...would have been fine if you just slightly smoked it...you know you also just decreased the brightness of your headlights by about 50%...i wouldnt do anything else like adding 22in chrome rims either...keep the current rims...and get rid of those lights and blacked out grilllle...the car would look so much better...

To each his own but I do have to say, the thing I love about this car the most looks wise is how aggressive the front end looks with the grille and the headlights, you have basically just taken that away. Drop looks nice though.

Did you get it tinted yet? I'm sure that would help the overall look of the car. Be interested to see what it looks like with the tints!

Question- Do you own an M?

Comment - You do an awful amount of "jaw jacking" on anything that isn't OEM. I've witnessed it on F R E S H A L L L O Y as well.

Suggestion - Keep on hating
